Abstract
The combination of chemo- and gene-therapy for lung cancer therapy has attracted continuous attention due to its high synergistic therapeutic efficiency. Here, three novel esterase-responsive prodrug-based amphiphiles, SCN1 ∼ SCN3, composed of 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38, S) and di-(triazole-[12]aneN3, N) moiety through different length of carbon chain (C, 5, 7, 11‑carbon alkyl chains, respectively) were designed and synthesized. The amphiphiles displayed excellent self-assembly capabilities and the ability to effectively condense and release siRNA, and SCN2 showed the most effective in inhibiting proliferation of A549 cells. Furthermore, SCN2, siRNA, DOPE (D) and DSPE-PEG2000-Biotin (B) were co-assembled into hybrid nanoparticles (SCN2-DB/siRNA) with an average size of 198 nm, outstanding serum tolerance, high targeting capability, and biocompatibility. Additionally, the release of SN38 (80 %) and siPLK1 (abundant) were observed clearly in the presence of esterase. In vitro experiments verified that SCN2-DB/siPLK1 NPs could efficiently suppress the proliferation, migration, and invasion of A549 cells. In vivo experiments demonstrated that SCN2-DB/siPLK1 NPs efficiently inhibited tumor growth (90 %) with negligible toxic side effects. The results showed that the combination of SN38 and siPLK1 through esterase-responsive amphiphile provided a strategy for lung cancer therapy that combined chemotherapy, gene therapy, and targeted delivery.
期刊介绍:
Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry.
For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature.
The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
